Trial of Five in High Treason Case Shocks Court
A crowded court heard the five Irish defendants charged with high treason, including compassing the king’s death and inviting invasion. The judge delivered verdicts after detailing the treasonous paper and its aims, with Quigley, O Connor, Binns, Leary, and Maxwell facing varying conclusions and harsh sentences. O Connor attempted escape after sentencing, prompting a tumult and arrest as officers restored order and the jailer prepared to receive the prisoners.
